Yahoo News Loose Women's Coleen Nolan supported as she says she's 'suffering' with 'scary' symptoms
Coleen Nolan has received messages of support from fans as she spoke openly and honestly about her menopause symptoms. The Loose Women star is no stranger to sharing her views and thoughts on the ITV show but she also regularly shares updates with her hundreds of thousands of social media followers.
In her latest video post to Instgaram as part of her 'Col's Corner' series, Coleen spoke about how she'd been 'panicking' that she was suffering from the onset of dementia after getting 'scary' symptoms.
She said: "Just when I think the menopause symptoms might be lessening. I've been suffering with what I thought was the start of some form of dementia, I have to say. And because my mum had it I've been panicking.

"But I've since been told the old fog brain of menopause is a real thing and although it's quite scary, it's also helped me calm down a bit and think 'oh, it's menopause'. So many things with menopause, isn't there? I thought I was over most of it but here I am, can't remember anything."
She continued: "Honestly, can't remember names when I've just said hello to someone. Can't remember my phone, my shoes, my car keys, dogs. I'm surprised I manage to find the house when I go home. It has been a bit scary but I'm kind of okay now because I know what it is. Anyway you might not be interested, but I won't remember if you are or not, so."
And her fans and followers were quick to share their own concerns as well as support. @dollyday63 said: "I’m post menopause and have dementia in family, get this brain fog too it’s so frightening." @j.chisem replied: "Thank you for sharing , I honestly thought I was going crazy . At least I know now and I find it less worrying."
@mrs_wendy_p_welsh commented: "Awww feel your pain , I’m exactly the same , it’s driving me mad." @wendyreikimaster3 shared: "Thanks for sharing Coleen.. its a nightmare." @no1chihuahua added: "Snap. Sending you lots of love, you’re a fabulous lady."
